AustCham Thailand is pleased to invite members and friends to a briefing by Dr Christopher Thornberg, who is the Founding Partner of Beacon Economics and one of California's leading economists.

Join the briefing to learn more about why international, including Australian, home-buyers are attracted to the United States. Indeed, in 2013 Australians accounted for 11 per cent of all international buyers in the US, third after the UK and Canada. The Australian Dollar has gained considerably against the US Dollar in the past few years, but what other factors contribute to increasing Australian interest in US property?

Dr Christopher Thornberg
Dr Thornberg has been involved in a number of special studies measuring the effect of important events on the economy. These include the NAFTA treaty, the California electricity crisis, port security, California’s water transfer programs, and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He currently serves on the Residential Real Estate Committee at the University of San Diego's Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate. He is a panel member of the National Association of Business Economists ' quarterly outlook, and contributes to the consensus outlook of the Journal of Business Forecasting. He is on the boards of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, the Central City Association (Los Angeles), the Asian Real Estate Association of America, and America's Edge, a nonprofit organization focused on strengthening the economy through public investments in youth and education.

The the Stars and Stripes Sundowners event will immediately follow this briefing session and, as always, will provide a great opportunity for members and guests of the Chamber to meet, network and exchange ideas in a social environment.
